I can’t clean or front squat for 10-14 days or any other movement that extends my hand backwards.

Luckily, we’ve seen all of those in the Open so I should be good.

Needless to say, I won’t be practicing anything all week. My goal will be to rest my hand as much as possible.

When I return, I have to work on my clean form especially at heavy weight. Gaps in training learned the hard way!

Add to this I have scar tissue built up around the sheath that protects the tendon in my right hand (the same one I sprained) that is causing swelling in my fingers. This is probably from tearing while doing CrossFit because I’ve had no other hand injuries to cause this.

So I saw a chiropractor yesterday as well to help break that down. If the scar tissue doesn’t go away on its own, it would have to be surgically removed! Yuck!
